Australian investors looking at Dubai real estate - any experiences?

[buyuae]

I'm an Australian-based investor currently exploring opportunities to diversify my property portfolio internationally. Dubai's market has come up repeatedly in my research due to its high rental yields and growth trajectory.

I'm specifically trying to understand the practicalities of how to invest in Dubai from Australia - the process, challenges, and whether others have gone down this path.

Has anyone here made the move to buy property in Dubai from Australia? I'd be particularly interested in:

• How you handled due diligence and transactions remotely
• Whether you used a local buying agent or consultancy
• Your experience with property management as a non-resident owner
• Any unexpected hurdles or positive surprises

I've been looking at resources from a dubai property consultancy for aussies (buyuae.com.au) which seems to specialize in this cross-border investment, but would value real investor experiences from this community.

Thanks in advance for sharing any insights!
